Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the molding of ophthalmic or optical lenses of organic material.
- such molding is usually carried out between two molding shells kept at a distance from each other by an annular seal forming a spacer and ensuring the tightness of the molding cavity thus defined between these shells molding.
- an elastic clamp is commonly used to date bearing jointly on one and the other of these molding shells, on both sides and on the other of said annular seal.
- the organic materials most commonly used for molding ophthalmic or optical lenses require for their setting, which corresponds to a polymerization, a heating, and, during this setting, it occurs a significant shrinkage of the material.
- this seal has, at its internal periphery, an annular edge, which is formed at the end of an elastically axially deformable annular collar, and by which it is able to cooperate in sealing with one of the molding shells .
- the axial elastic deformation capacity presented by the annular collar and implemented in a seal el t it follows that it is possible, firstly, to approximate to each other the molding shells after setting in place of the material to be molded, and thus create between these molding shells, when they are released, and that the annular flange of the seal which separates them tends to return to its initial configuration, a suction effect sufficient to ensure completely secure support filler of each of these molding shells in contact with the seal, without it being necessary to use any elastic clamp for this purpose, and, on the other hand, to leave the seal in place until the stage ultimate polymerization of the molded material, the elasticity of the annular flange presented by this seal allowing it to accommodate the relative movement necessary for the molding shells to completely follow the shrinkage of this material during its polymerization
- the present invention generally aims to overcome these drawbacks.
- annular seal specific to the molding of ophthalmic or optical lenses made of organic material, of the type comprising, axially at a distance from each other, at its internal periphery, two annular edges by which it is able to cooperate in sealing with two molding shells, at least one of said annular edges being formed at the end of an elastically deformable annular flange issuing from said seal, and characterized in that said annular flange extends generally obliquely with respect to the axis of the seal, this flange projecting not only on the corresponding transverse face of the seal, but also on the internal peripheral face of the latter o
- the annular flange according to the invention advantageously works essentially in bending, and no longer in crushing.
- the subject of the present invention is also an implementation process which makes it possible to make the most of this working advantage when bending the joint.
- This implementation process is of the kind according to which, a suitable dose of organic material to be molded having been placed between two molding shells separated from each other by an annular seal, either after placement of only one of the molding shells, that is to say after placing one and the other of these, a pressure is exerted axially on one of said molding shells while buttressing the other and is characterized in that, to develop said pressure, a movable finger is used, the stroke of which is controlled.
- the annular seal 10 is integral with a peripheral skirt 11 which, at least in appearance, is generally cylindrical, but which, in reality, for the sake of manufacture molding is generally conical or biconical, and it generally forms an annular bead projecting from the internal face of this skirt, in the middle part of the latter.
- peripheral skirt 11 therefore extends in this case axially on either side of the annular seal 10, that is to say both upwards, in 12A, and downwards, in 12B.
- the upper 12A, lower 12B parts of the skirt 11 have, from place to place, notches 140
- the annular seal 10 extends generally obliquely with respect to its axis A, which also forms the axis of the peripheral skirt 11, as shown diagrammatically in broken lines in FIG. 1, by approaching this axis in the direction of the bottom; it therefore generally forms an obtuse angle with the upper part 12A of the skirt 11, and an acute angle with the lower part re 12B thereof.
- the annular seal 10 At its internal periphery, which is generally defined by a conical cylindrical surface, or cylindrical and conical 15, the annular seal 10 comprises, axially at a distance from each other, two annular edges 16A, 16B, by which, as well as 'it will appear below, it is able to cooperate in sealing with two molding shells 17A ,. 17B.
- annular edges 16A, 16B are formed at the end of a elastically deformable collar 18A, which comes from the annular seal 10, having come in one piece by molding thereof, and which extends generally at an angle with respect to the axis A of this seal, this annular flange 18A projecting not only on the corresponding oblique transverse face 19A of said seal, but also on the internal peripheral face 15 of the latter.
- the annular flange 18A has a triangular profile with an acute apex angle S.
- This apex angle S is preferably less than 40 degrees, but this value should not be considered as limiting the invention.
- annular flange 18A is able to work elastically in bending when it is the object of a stress s 'exerting parallel to the axis A of the joint.
- edge 16B is also formed at the end of an elastically deformable annular flange 18B, but this extends generally parallel to the axis A of the joint 10, in projecting only on the corresponding transverse face 19B thereof, and not on its internal peripheral face 15.
- this annular flange 18B can therefore only be exerted axially in this case, and, as a result, it is significantly less than that of
- the upper part 12A of the peripheral skirt ensures in known manner a proper centering of the molding shell 17A with respect to the annular seal 10, and this molding shell 17A comes to bear on this joint by the annular edge 16A thereof.
- a clearance J1 then remains axially between the molding shell 17A and the corresponding transverse face 19A of the annular seal 10.
- the molding shell 17B being buttressed by the support plate 20, on which it rests, an axial pressure is then exerted on the molding shell 17A, along the arrow F of FIG. 2E, so as to obtain the effect of suction cup sought.
- a movable finger 23 is used, the stroke C of which is strictly controlled between its initial position, shown diagrammatically in broken lines in FIG. 2E, for which it comes into contact with the molding shell 17A, and its final position, by which it also defines the final position of the molding shell 17A.
- it is a movable finger with constant support force.
- a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder 24 whose body 25 is, as shown schematically in broken lines in FIG. 2E, secured to a bracket 26 mounted relative, around a vertical axis, opposite the support plate 20.
- the displacement of the molding shell 17A in the direction of the molding shell 17B, which is fixed, has a double effect: on the one hand, it forces the surplus molding material to flow back towards the outside, and this reflux is facilitated by the notches 14 of the upper 12A and inner 12B parts of the peripheral skirt 11; on the other hand, it causes an elastic deformation of the annular flange 18a, by bending, and, to a lesser extent, of the annular flange 18B, by crushing.
- the molding shell 17B, FIG. 2A is placed on a fixed support plate 20, which is thus buttressed; it is, in practice, a molding shell with a concave molding face, produced for example from glass, and in particular from tempered glass, and preferably having a substantially uniform thickness, as is usual in this case.
- a molding shell with a concave molding face produced for example from glass, and in particular from tempered glass, and preferably having a substantially uniform thickness, as is usual in this case.
- annular seal 10 is carried by its annular edge 16B on the concave molding face of the molding shell 17B.
- a suitable dose 22 of organic material to be molded is, for example, the monomer known under the commercial designation "CR 39", namely polyethylene glycol di-allyl di-carbonate, added with a catalyst, for example isopropyl percarbonate
- the molding shell 17A which is a molding shell with a convex molding surface, and which has a constitution similar to that of the molding shell 17A o
- the dose of organic material to be molded is only put in place after engagement of the molding shell 17A on the annular seal 10, at the using for example an injection nozzle suitably inserted between this molding shell and this seal (not shown) " suction cup sought: in fact, when the molding shell 17A is released, FIG. 2F, the annular flanges 18A, 18B tend to resume their initial configuration elastically; due to the retrograde movement which results therefrom for the molding shell 17A. it develops, in the molding cavity confined by the latter together with the annular seal 10 and the molding shell 17A, a depression characteristic of such a suction cup effect, and sufficient to ensure proper maintenance of the molding shells 17A , 17B against the annular seal 10.
- the axial pressure initially applied to the molding shell 17B is conducted so that, after release of the latter, there remains, between this molding shell 17A and the corresponding transverse wall 19A of the seal 10, a clearance axial J2 sufficient to allow the molding shell 17A to follow the withdrawal of the molded material without coming to bear against the transverse face 19A of the annular seal 10.
- the annular seal 10 is removed.
- the molding shell 17B is then removed, the lens 26 obtained usually adhering more strongly to the molding shell 17A, as illustrated in FIG. 3; however, in the case where the molding shell 17B, which is the one with concave molding surface, constitutes an "expensive" molding shell, the molding shell 17A is preferably removed first, the release of the latter releasing the constraints of the assembly due to the shrinkage of the ground material during its polymerization, which makes it possible to avoid possible damage to the molding shell 17B,
- the lens 26 obtained has, in the vicinity of the molding shell 17A, a recess 27 allowing the insertion between it and the molding shell 17A of any tool 28, a spatula for example, clean to facilitate separation from this molding shell 17A,
- annular edge 16B of the seal 10 is directly defined by the latter, without individualization of any flange, this edge 16B resulting directly from the intersection of one part of the internal peripheral face 15 of the annular seal 10 and on the other hand of the corresponding transverse face 19B thereof.
- edge 16B which is formed at the end of an elastically deformable annular collar extending obliquely opposite -vis the axis of the assembly, the edge 16A being directly defined by the seal 10, without individualization of any flange.
- edges 16A, 16B are both formed at the end of an elastically deformable collar extending obliquely with respect to the axis of the assembly.
- the upper part 12A of the peripheral skirt It can be circularly continuous, its notches 14 then being replaced by section passages closed cross section, as shown schematically in broken lines for one of these notches, at 34, in FIG. 1, and the same is true for the lower part 12B of said peripheral skirt 11.
- annular seal according to the invention can be made in one piece by molding a synthetic material of the thermoplastic elastomer type.
- such a material is chosen to have a significant hardness, and for example a Shore A hardness of 90 or close to it, and to maintain, in the temperature range of the thermal polymerization treatment to be applied, its initial properties.
